Foschini’s ‘Royal Secret’ service

-

I WOULD love to take my hat off to Foschini, Pavilion, for good service.

I purchased a dress sometime in November last year, but as I was away on holiday, I did not get the opportunit­y to wear it.

This year, however, when I tried on the dress, the zipper did not go all the way up.

As I was in a hurry, I didn’t give it much thought.

When I tried it on again a few weeks ago, I had the same problem.

As I did not have a cash sales slip, I e-mailed Foschini head office, and Radha, from the above branch, told day, seven days a week.

“We have a dedicated Incident Response Team to answer any more urgent issues. If we receive a report that a driver or rider has acted dangerousl­y or inappropri­ately, we suspend their account, preventing him me that she would help by obtaining the dress from another branch with no questions asked.

I thought this was excellent service.

Then two weeks ago, Foschini advertised the perfume Royal Secret at a discounted price.

I wanted to call the branch and ask them to set aside two bottles. However, their telephone lines were down and when I did go to the store last Friday, they were sold out.

I then checked online and found that the Gateway branch had stock. However, or her from accessing the platform while we investigat­e. Rider and driver accounts can be suspended permanentl­y.”

Two weeks after the complaint on Taxify’s app, they still haven’t looked at my message, which doesn’t exactly fill one there was a charge to courier it to the Pavilion.

I was very disappoint­ed at hearing that.

Once again, I e-mailed the customer service, indicating my disappoint­ment with the charge.

This morning Emmanuel Naidoo called to inform me that he had dropped off the perfume at the Pavilion branch for me to fetch. That was amazing.

I thought that this was worth mentioning. Hats off to Foschini.

Thank you for a brilliant column. LATHA SINGH with confidence that they are listening to customers.

It’s a pity, because most of their drivers are competent, hard-working people. But my question remains: how do the dangerous drivers slip through the cracks?
